Zachary Gordon as "Greg" and Robert Capron as "Rowley."

Greg and his older brother Rodrick inspect the damage after a wild party

Kidzworld: Do you have any brothers? If so, what is your relationship like with them?

Zach Gordon: I have 2 older brothers who are somewhat similar to Rodrick. We mess around a lot, but always have each other’s backs.

Kidzworld: You’ve done a lot of voice/over work for animated films. Which was the most fun voice to do and why?

Zach: One of my favorite voiceovers was for a Nick Jr. show called “Bubble Guppies” in which I voiced the role of Gil, the guppy. It began airing this past February, but I worked on it for 4 years.

Kidzworld: Do you and your big bro in the movie Devon (Bostick) hang out between scenes or off set? Buddies?

Zach: Devon and I are like brothers on and off set. We have lots of fun and love to prank each other.

Kidzworld: Greg’s mom gives him “Mom bucks” as an incentive to behave. Did you or do you get anything like that from your mom or dad?

Zach: I don’t get Mom bucks, but I do get computer time. I love to play on the computer, but have to earn the time as I forget myself when I am on it.

Kidzworld: Are you homeschooled or can you relate to Greg’s struggles to fit into middle school?

Zach: I attend a public school when I am not on set, but do not have similar struggles to Greg.

Kidzworld: Can you actually roller skate? I’m an adult and roller rinks were big back in my day. Are they actually back and popular as far as you know?

Zach: I learned to roller skate for the movie last summer before we had to film. I really enjoy it, but it is not as popular these days and there isn’t a rink close to my home. It closed after they taught me to skate. Hmmmm???

Kidzworld: Greg is having trouble going up to a girl. Do you have a pick-up line or what do you usually say to attractive girls that you would like to get to know?

Zach: I’m not quite there yet. I’m more focused on sports and getting together with my friends for a good game of basketball.

Kidzworld: If there was a YouTube video of your mom dancing, would you be embarrassed?

Zach: Absolutely, I would pretend that I never saw her in my life!

Kidzworld: Have you posted a video on YouTube and, if so, what was it?

Zach: I have not posted anything yet, but might in the future.

Kidzworld: Do you and your pals watch scary movies at home? What is the best one so far if you do? I’m sure The Foot wouldn’t scare you.

Zach: No, scary movies really freak me out even when I know they are fake.

The Footwas really funny, not scary at all.

Kidzworld: If you had to be in a talent show, other than acting, what would you do as your “talent”?

Zach: I would break dance. I LOVE to dance.

Kidzworld: Rodrick gives Greg advice. What is the worst advice you ever got?

Zach: The early bird gets the worm, because now that I am officially a teenager, I really need my sleep.

Kidzworld: Did you ever have the “I’m at school in my underwear” dream? What would be the most embarrassing moment ever for you?

Zach: No, I had the dream that I was on the big screen in my underwear and it really came true! I don’t really embarrass easily.

Kidzworld: If there is another movie, what do you really hope the writers will create for Greg to do that he hasn’t gotten to yet?

Zach: I would love for Greg to be a SUPER HERO!!!

Kidzworld: Why will kids and teens really get into Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules?

Zach: Kids who are already in middle school will really relate to the crazy situations that happen and teens will be able to relive their (recent) past.

Alright so people are now receiving the Windows 10 free upgrade (for Windows 7/8 users) and it was a long, long wait. So, if you have upgraded to Windows 10 from whatever version of OS you have, what are your thoughts?
In my opinion I feel Windows 10 is a major improvement from Windows 8 as I'm sure most people, especially tech wizards such as myself hated with a passion. I also think the update appeals to gamers in particular with the addition of DirectX12 which aims to boost gaming performance of the graphics card by 30%! HYPE. Anyway, there are pros and cons, however the pros outweigh the cons IMO. What do you think?
